location accuracy pop-up on apps using location services

Giving the message once is OK, but it keeps coming, back again and again, I must have seen it a hundred times and I get the message! Surely there must be a way to accept the warning so it never comes back and I don't have unnecessary clicks and hassle. Does Apple really assume that all it's users are stupid with the memory of a goldfish!

Seriously. There should never be a default condition where I get a warning message due to an intentional choice. When I'm in airplane mode, I know that "turning on wi-fi will improve location accuracy" because I CHOSE TO ENABLE AIRPLANE MODE. It's like having a modal that pops up on my TV every 5 minutes that says "Hey, just a reminder, turning up your volume will make your TV louder." Remember when some defended the animations added in iOS7 as a "feature?" Now they're an option. Some things are obvious. This is obvious.

I absolutely agree. There are valid reasons for not leaving wi-fi on constantly and I do not need this annoying reminder.

I would like to be able to permanently dismiss this message.

No way to stop it. It is just the iOS way of alterting you to the fact that the aGPS system in an iPhone will get a fix faster or more accurately in less time with wifi on than off. It cannot be disabled.

miracbasar is right...... This is VERY annoying..

I turn my wifi on and off because of battery drain and security concerns, and every time I start TomTom it pops up, time and time again.

I have sent feedback to Apple too, but don't expect to get anywhere.

So if anyone knows how to stop this popup,( short of switching on wifi ! ) please let us know......

I just tap it and dismiss it without thought nowadays. It's been like that for a long time.

Sorry, but no, little things like that don't make me mad - I pay little if any attention to them. Life is far too short to get worked up over the little stuff like that 😉

Seriously - I already had one heart attack (bad genetics mostly, unfortunately). If I let stuff like that get to me, I'd be having one a day by now.

So send feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. It is not something you can turn off now, so telling users here about it will not let Apple know you would like to see the feature. The feedback page is your only method to let Apple know.
